Vikings fans have waited long enough, but now, the Vikings, History Channel’s most popular series, has returned with another awesome season, created by Michael Hirst. Before your favourite characters, Ragnar, Lagertha and the rest of your favorite fighters continue their story, lets make a briefing of the spoilers of what we should look forward to this new season.

1. Ragnar’s King – What will it happen?

In an interview for Entertainment Weekly, the runner of the show explained what Ragnar will be wearing the crown, and the further events are something so not sexy! Hirst stated that the new power in Ragnar ‘s hands will allow him to establish settlement in Wessex on the land of king Ecbert. He added that his actions are not the sexiest thing a lead character has ever done, but is something very real. Ragnar is not interested in pillaging but to settle a land for his people.

2. New Characters

Appart from the fact that fans will be reunited with their beloved characters, season 3 will introduce some new ones as well. Lagertha’s young and handsome son, Kalf, and the Earl will grow fond of. Kalf will prove to be ambitious and calculated, when his real plan will be revealed after Lagerta goes to raid.

Harbard, (Kevin Durand) a mysterious character will show up in Kattagat, after Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland), Siggy (Jessalyn Gilsig) and Helga (Maude Hirst) had a vision. The dreams they had, was clearly foreshadowing the arrival of this mystical character. During this season, fans will be given the chance to see the kind of powers this wanderer has and how his presence will affect the people in Kattagat, when he will appear in episode two of season 3.

The actions of Harbard will certainly change the course of action for the other characters in that episode and he might leave a sort of a deep wound, a mark, and should be the one that has the greatest impact, and fans should be very attentive to episode 4.
